Description: | Die-stamped three piece copper alloy post medieval bi-convex hollow button with separate wire shank.
It is 14.3mm in diameter and 8.8mm high (inclusive of loop, 14.6mm high). The reverse has two blow holes c.2mm in diameter and not in alignment.
The front of the button has stamped decoration in the form of a groove just above the underside, flanking the edge. Above this and within another grooved circle, at the cente, is a cross-hatch filled circle, around which are four triangular petals. Between each is a tiny horizontal line.
Weighs 1.15g.
Brian Read dates these to the 17th century, but suspects their use continues into the 18th. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1601
